Accelerated Discovery of Thermoelectric Materials: Combinatorial Facility and High-Throughput Measurement of Thermoelectric Power Factor
(American Chemical Society, 2016-05)
A series of processes have been developed to facilitate the rapid discovery of new promising thermoelectric alloys. A novel combinatorial facility where elements are wire-fed and laser-melted was designed and constructed. ...
Oxidation behaviour at 1123 K of AISI 304-Ni/Al-Al2O3/TiO2 multilayer system deposited by flame spray
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2011)
The oxidation behaviour of alumina/titania (97/3, 87/13 and 60/40) ceramic coatings using a Ni-Al coupling layer was studied in a thermobalance. Both layers were deposited on an AISI 304 stainless steel base metal by the ...
Development and characterization of unmodified kaolinite/EVOH nanocomposites by melt compounding
(Elsevier, 2016-10)
Nanocomposites of unmodified kaolinite (Kaol)/ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) with different Kaol contents have been obtained by a two-step process: melt blending in an internal mixer and film processing by ...
Synergistic photovoltaic–thermoelectric effect in a nanostructured CdTe/Bi2Te3 heterojunction for hybrid energy harvesting
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
Recent advances in the photovoltaic and thermoelectric material synthesis and characterization have engendered significant interest in their solar energy harvesting. However, examples of energy harvesting by the two effects ...
Observer-based controllers with data dropout rate adaptation
(Wiley, 2017-02)
In this work, we address the observer-based control problem for networked control systems with an unknown time-varying packet arrival rate (PAR) and under root mean square-norm bounded disturbances. We assume packetized ...
Toughness Enhancement of PHBV/TPU/Cellulose Compounds with Reactive Additives for Compostable Injected Parts in Industrial Applications
(MDPI, 2018-07)
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-valerate), PHBV, is a bacterial thermoplastic biopolyester that possesses interesting thermal and mechanical properties. As it is fully biodegradable, it could be an alternative to the use of ...
Knowledge generation for enhancing design creativity through co-creative Virtual Learning Communities
(Elsevier, 2017)
With the current technological explosion, the arrival of Web 2.0 and the growth of ICTs, designers’ tools can be understood and used by novice users. With this statement in mind, and considering previous works that claim ...
Características formales de las iglesias de salón valencianas del s. XVIII
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2017)
The hall church is a type of religious
building, examples of which are
found in certain areas of Europe and
America. However, there are only few
and simple definitions of them as a
concept, consisting mainly of a list ...
An approach to conceptual and embodiment design within a new product development lifecycle framework
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The design of new innovative products is the result of an accurate and precise management of knowledge sources all over its life cycle, such as technology, market, competitors and suppliers. The work contributes with a ...
